The Profile

Formed in Los Angeles in 1981, Mötley Crüe is an American glam/hair-metal band best known for explosive live shows, 1980s-era classic albums and a public image tied to excess. Core members include Vince Neil (vocals), Nikki Sixx (bass), Tommy Lee (drums) and Mick Mars (guitar).

Dr. Feelgood (1989) reached No. 1 on the US Billboard 200; the band formed in Los Angeles in 1981 and became one of the leading acts of 1980s glam/hair metal.

DeBaser's reviews portray Mötley Crüe as an archetypal 1980s glam/hair-metal act: explosive live shows, major classic albums (Dr. Feelgood, Shout at the Devil) and a reputation for excess. Critics praise early and peak-era records while often faulting later reunions and filler tracks. The site's coverage mixes admiration for the music with wry accounts of the band's lifestyle.

Notable Quotes

❝ And instead, what a wallop, what a lesson, I had to keep quiet.
❝ Personally, I enjoy the golden age, of which "Dr. Feelgood" represents the masterpiece, an album that reeks of sweat and greasepaint, a mix of macho rock and androgynous image, an album that talks of women, parties, and bad guys, but first spends hours in front of the mirror fixing makeup and hair.
❝ A high-class album to use as a nice ashtray.
